This is a 150G tank. My occelaris clownfish was my second fish added right after my chromis. I then added a sixline wrasse a couple weeks later. During these times with these three fish the clownfish, although smaller than the wrasse, seemed to be the boss of the tank. It would swim around the tank all day and even sometimes at night. Last week, I added a Blue Hippo Tang. All tank mates seemed to get along fine and everything was good. My clownfish is now acting different as of a few days ago. It now stays by its favorite rock all day and seems scared of the Blue Hippo(biggest fish now), especially when i throw in mysis shrimp for feeding. I mean it basically stays in an imaginary 4 inch cubicle space. Could this be a change of "bosses" in the tank(i.e. the blue hippo replacing the clown as boss?). The clownfish may be stressed because he isn't used to being "not the boss"? My clownfish just doesn't seem like its old self.
BTW Here is the length i have had all of my fish...tank is about 3 months old as in it has been cycled for 3 months
Chromis 5 weeks
Clownfish 4 weeks
Sixline 3 weeks
Blue Hippo 1 week
